as it has called the visit regrettable but russia says the president doesn't need permission to travel to another part of the country's territory well from the current auden's artie's office on a boy sends this report. it's a leftover from the second world war old soviet tanks rusting on the shore but there barrels pointed towards your pan the cornish island together with three other pacific islands was taken over by the soviet union sixty five years ago but the tussle to define its national identity still goes on. this cross appeared here a few years ago soon after the russian orthodox church opened its parish on the island of see katon up to decades of thing its population the window the island is now in the midst of a baby it will. have the highest birth rates in the interests of region we have lots of young people votes of servicemen offices their living standards are quite

decent nowadays there are many kids here and parents bring them to be baptized it's wonderful to have children on the island building the church is part of the russian government's effort to raise the living standards of the korean island beach here means reinforcing national identity. all but abandoned in the nine hundred ninety s. they are and saw a large influx of japanese charities and officials trying to persuade the locals that they might be much better off if the audience were on their japanese administration because you know if we get the owners bark we won't move the russians who live there we know how painful it is then you look for them citizenship. the dispute over the islands known as northern territories in japan always had a third party to it it was the united states that encouraged the soviet union to take them over in nine hundred forty five and it was also washington that later still japan's territorial claims but now many japanese see both russia and america

as occupying forces you knew of the japan has two issues one is a territorial claim to russia and the other is to get rid of american military bases on japanese turn tree. under international law the grill island unequivocally belongs to russia but due to geographic and economic reasons it's residents of palm of week when it gets to japan than to the mainland. and while russia may be in their hearts japan is still vying for their minds. morter is teaching japanese at a she could tun school his celery speed by the japanese government. class is a very popular when you come to the school the children are already waiting for me commandos people who i see there are many people who came here last year i'm happy here sometimes it seems to me that i'm with my family again and here class seventh graders study alongside their parents who hope to get a job in japan life

a degree allowance may have approved in recent years but not quite so to stop eyeing the horizon according to a two thousand and nine nationwide poll about ninety percent of russians would strongly object to handing the creel audience over to japan but the overwhelming majority of the respondents have never visited this territory and are very unlikely to do so in the future the audience may be an integrity part of pressure on the map but the economic clear and logistical way there are still very march a foreign land some boycott r.c. in russia's far east well still ahead few in the program are setting the crosshairs . economies are being set up to be the next bogeyman and the only thing that's interfering with that is that the muslims or an effective bogeyman for right now. why do you think ana marie is being seen as a. street. it's an old school

metal but it could end our dependence on fossil fuels and reinvent the world's energy potential off the god of thunder many scientists believe phoria is the best alternative to radio for producing nuclear power. or and it explores why the battle has still to gain a foothold in the market despite its many advantages. we all use energy but at what cost. energy security why many more wars are thought the oil's running out and there doesn't seem to be a viable alternative insights but unbeknown to most there's an energy source that says clean green and abundant all over the globe story i'm so nuclear fuel and its supporters believe it will change the world conflicts that we've seen today based around energy could go away and that these energy sources that i'm talking about

which don't emit carbon dioxide or or greenhouse gases and don't produce dangerous ways accord unable to have cleaner water cleaner air and less intrusion on our environment from energy production a ton of the silvery metal produces as much energy as two hundred tons of uranium or three and a half million tons of coal. the amount of thorin there would take her via all the power to run your entire life. is about the size of a marble that big a group working on story in the u.k. says it hasn't managed to get the british government on board so far so it's looking to cooperate with countries like russia for several years now a russian physicist has been proposing to build saurian power stations but i wanted his ideas haven't been taken up there's a lot of focus on renewables at the moment so maybe that's where they feel that

there's more public support. within. but i think if they truly understood the potential of story. then they would realize that it's a good investment research on thore and was largely halted in the middle of the last century after a year rainy unpowered reactor was designed. many believe also fell out of the spotlight because making a bomb out of it is thought to be almost impossible but today not all scientists are thore and converts foreign reactors don't really work every challenge and it's a whole new technology which has very insurmountable problems in my opinion they would have problems in developing the process in which you split the fuel from the waste from the reactor they would have difficulties in actually storage in the fuel . since two thousand and seven cities from

london to sydney have held our turning the lights off to save energy proponents say if there were a power became a reality we could turn the lights back on with confidence. through. the rooms a divisive thing some say it's a technology that's being tried tested and found lacking others say that because the light water reactor got there first the room was never given a proper chance but while it's cheap. abundant and even a possibility the scientists here at the annual thore and conference say give it a go it might even change the world you are at it r.t. london. and later r.t. talks to a top russian c.e.o. about the importance of developing an innovation economy and your zionist says it could be just a matter of years before all materials run out and that new forms of energy will be needed. in the next ten fifteen or twenty years the world economic

architecture will change so much but the raw material sector will simply lose the significance it has today a considerable part of the ultimo bill fleet will operate totally differently it will be electrical environmentally clean etc who will then need us and our oil if the world stops consuming oil as an energy resource in such huge amounts and if we fail to diversify reorganize our economy and reduce innovative development then russia will turn out to be competitive in the world market. in fact you can watch that interview in full here in r.t. in just over twenty minutes. china is the world's third largest economy off the u.s. and you could be the largest within a decade but it's emergence as a major economic superpower has raised concern among policymakers in washington so-called trade wars between the two countries left experts wondering as to who the

bully really is what he's learned mr has the story. on arjun and children's book made in china three common words quickly becoming bad words as part of smear campaigns made in the usa to be voted to give china a special treat status the chinese are being set up to be the next bogeyman and the only thing that's interfering with that is that the muslims are in effect of bogeyman for right now but that hasn't stopped china and its alleged us supporters from being the bad guy. does your records help foreign companies create jobs to make it with as seen in countless political campaign ads ahead of the two thousand and ten midterm elections with china in the u.s. china's ascent in the world is becoming the popular perceived threat from washington maybe you ought to run for senate trying to holywood good to get it over to where they're remaking the eighty's flick red dawn. but this time around instead

of soviet troops invading the us you guessed it it's the chinese it seems for longer the us economy stagnates barely growing at all. and the more china celebrates the ten percent plus rise in its economic growth the more we see china vilified it's very important to see more progress by the major emerging economies with policymakers accusing the country of manipulating its currency to boost exports at the expense of the u.s. recovery and demanding they do something to change that every just look at the issue from that perspective you may think china is to blame here but the u.s. and china have a very dynamic interconnected relationship and when you look at what the u.s. is doing because a lot less clear who is the bad guy but it takes two to tango there are two sides of that core and the only way to get out of this imbalance is to coordinate a process that is mutually beneficial both saw an imbalance that has china the

largest creditor nation on the globe. funding the u.s. the largest debtor nation in the history of the world asking for the dollar to go down twenty percent against the chinese currency the yuan essentially as china who holds two point six trillion us dollars in its reserves to just lose a half trillion dollars china doesn't want that and economists say this is anything but mutually beneficial but you wouldn't know. no we want to screw you we want to bankrupt you like we grip the grip him we want to disable you because if we can destroy your canonically then you can never become a military threat and outside of paranoid psychosis but it doesn't stop the us from parading its military might around china's borders china is also held drills in recent months and both sides are duking it out in what's been dubbed a currency war i happen to think china should open its currency up and be freely

convertible on the other hand the united states is running up the gigantic debts and printing money oh everybody's making mistakes here and that's where our economy is say a larger war is impending looks like we have a trade war developing a losing battle for both sides nobody in history has won a trade war but that may not stop anyone from putting up a fight and recent us history as seen here here and here doesn't seem to even be allowing a fair one lorin mr r.t. new york. well coming up with the dogs called the war i love it so let's get out of trouble just a few minutes. at least seventeen militants have reportedly been killed in the south of afghanistan as nato steps up its war on the town about one afghan drugs is taking a new turn on thursday russian special forces there were turned to the country by

one of the world's most active volcanoes has killed at least thirty eight people since back to. there are no immediate reports of casualties or damage and injuries sixty eight in an area nicknamed the pacific ring of fire which is prone to earthquakes and eruptions. well after a woman in the south of russia was viciously moved by two pit bull terriers the debate over who should be held responsible for dog attacks has been heating up some say bad owners are to blame while others are calling for a blacklist of certain breeds of dogs seized in his bosky reports. this eighty five year old woman was almost killed by two pit bulls and here on the yard she was screaming for help and when a neighbor heard her cries she called the police when the officers arrived the region animals turned on them. one of the officers blew his whistle the dog dropped the victim and the tag of the policeman badly injuring his arm the officers had no

other option but to should both animals dead by the time the woman was unconscious she was immediately taken to a nearby hospital where the patient was in shock upon arrival we had to perform an emergency operation to amputate her arms the owners of the bulls kept them for breeding but it seems they didn't keep them secure enough since on the fateful day they managed to escape jumping over a fence and tearing through the neighborhood. unfortunately it's not the first time when dangerous animals are causing severe and sometimes deadly injuries and i think that one of the reasons is that there's a gap in legislation when it comes to dog ownership and punishment for those whose animals attack people with large dogs should be considered dangerous just like i'm going to go to the owners of the bulls in question have been charged with negligence resulting in but really harm and could face that too in the have thousand dollar fine or a six month jail sentence but courts rarely impose prison sentences for such crimes

however the case has once again sparked heated debate on whether breed specific legislation should be introduced in russia currently twelve countries have banned or special conditions for pit bull and american stuff which are terrier ownership restrictions are not an option say the members of this dog owners club in the city of sochi let's speak to the enemy trainer and greet the seventy year old staffordshire terrier when you could feel as human and there should be no breed specific discrimination considering one do good and another one you know is just plain wrong always take into consideration certain traits. that also should be considered by the dog's owner when choosing the dog but it doesn't mean that some dogs should be labeled more dangerous and therefore require some kind of special super training. with the last name many dog owners likes with insist that in most cases it's not the animals but their owners who are to blame the average basic training course with but bull terriers last two to three months and could cost up

to six hundred dollars something that in the cross lower case now seems a bargain considering the price paid by the elderly woman who remains in a coma with doctors pointing for her life does bosky r t across the region. while our stories videos and blogs are online any time you want to call what's on the site right now is one of the biggest myths about russia beds and people living side by side find out when they might actually be some truth in it. plus have you ever wondered which support would suit you best scientists when they have the answer stored in our d.n.a. . if. by a moment

a lot of people looking at this market again i think and perhaps taking some positions or i would hope the utility sector will continue to do well this week last couple of weeks we've had the banks in focus and you know the more speculation there is around the privatization i think the more interest that we're going to see on the banking side. russia and vietnam signed an agreement to build the first nuclear power plants in vietnam according to specialist estimations the construction will take at least three to five it's the head of russia's nuclear state corporation was at home sick a crank call says is just the beginning. this agreement is just the beginning of some major work as according to today's plans at least four nuclear stations for energy units speech should be built in vietnam in the next few years today would begin the first stage of collaboration and the viability of the next project will depend on how this one progresses the call into the plan agreed by the vietnamese government this first station should be launched by two thousand and twenty these
